Rolling Rough "Chris Lacaze was a rolling stone and a rough sleeper. He was the small guy who rolled his wheelchair around the streets of Byron Bay up until his death on 15th September 2018. Chris was only 64 years of age and a good bloke."

Thank you for posting this. Chris was my dear friend and I really miss him. His tribute at the community breakfast has stayed with me and it makes it a little easier knowing how loved and respected he was in the community.

very said and we always remember Chris's smile and yes, "Human connection costs us nothing, but means everything to those with so little to call their own."

The Coffee BOX is located next to the Post Office on Jonson St, Byron Bay.
